Thierry Henry is still waiting for his first win since taking charge at Monaco after his team fell to a seventh league defeat of the season in a 1-0 loss at Reims.

A cool finish on 24 minutes from Mathieu Cafaro gave Reims all three points and left Henry without a victory in four matches following his appointment as Monaco coach.

Both sides finished with 10 men as Alaixys Romao was shown a straight red card for a high challenge on Youssef Ait Bennasser, while Monaco saw Guinea-Bissau international Pele sent off for two bookings in the second half.

Monaco, which won the French title in 2017, remains second from bottom after an alarming run that has yielded just one win in all competitions this season.

Henry will have one final chance to revive Monaco's flagging Champions League campaign on Tuesday when it hosts Club Brugge at the Stade Louis II.

Nimes snapped a nine-game winless run with a 4-0 rout of Dijon, while Patrick Vieira Nice's beat Amiens 1-0 after an own goal by Prince-Desir Gouano.
